Denham’s samurai back piece is 5 years in the making and only has about 2 hours to go. Life circumstances made it so that a long break was taken partway through the tattoo, but in the last few months Horisumi has made much progress. All freehand with tebori shading, this first tattoo is a prime example of ‘go big or go home’.
We’ve scoured our archives for all pictures of this project, and have come up quite bountifully. Scroll down to see how it’s all come together over the years!
See how much it’s come along. Denham’s next (and last) appointment is a few weeks from now. Stay tuned for a photoshoot of the full, complete back piece.
